SS/SC Vs. G35

This happend a couple days ago and I've been a bit too lazy to post about it, but I've got some extra time at work now, so here it goes.

I'm heading back home from getting some Panda (Orange chicken FTW) when I cruise by a very nice, black G35 with 4 doors. I looked over and expected to see a mid 40's man or woman driving but I was surprised to see a guy in his early 20's or so with his hat one sideways. He looked over and noticed the Cobalt, but there were no indications of a race, so I just drove on to the next red light. As I reached the light I moved over from my lane to get in the lane with the least amount of cars and to get away from the semi that was ahead in my current lane. He had somehow ended up in the lane with the semi as well and was behind me and followed my move to the short line.

The red light turns green and traffic takes off normally and as soon as the car ahead of me overtook the semi, I made a jog to the right into a nice open lane with no cars ahead for a mile. The dude in the G35 match my move and ended up next to me, once he did this I knew he was pursuing for a run. He paced me for a bit, blipping the throttle a couple times and I did the same. We both managed to read eachother fairly well and mashed our throttles nearly simultaneously. We started off at about 60 mph and I was in the bottom of 3rd, sitting next to him waiting for some power to kick in. Finally I hit about 4,000 rpm and started a nice steady pull which he couldn't stop.

6,000 revs come and I flick the tranny into 4th gear and at this point I've got about a length on him. I held 4th for a few moments before I saw an accident at the intsection ahead a little over 1/4 mile away and a bunch of blue and red flashing lights. At this point I deemed it wise to shut the car down and end the run. As I did I looked back to see the G35 about 1 1/2 cars behind, and then in an instant he was about 5 ahead...I hit the brakes pretty hard.

I managed to get back next to him to give him a nod and a wave and he returned it with a big grin. Cool guy at least and a good run. Although, a true 350z would have made for a more exciting run.

Nice kill man

I would've expected that though. I actually would think that if you guys would've raced to faster speeds you would've smashed him even harder. I raced a coupe in my evo on the freeway and pretty much abolished him.

what's an infiniti skyline,, is that a g35 too? there's one at my work that looks pretty similar and it says 350gt and skyline on the back with an infiniti emblem. only place i've ever seen or heard of one.

Yeah, in Japan they have the Nissan Skyline 350GT which is sold over here in the USA as the Infinity G35. Much like the Nissan Silvia and 240SX, same car just marketed different in these two markets.

Some people just like to rebadge their cars to be JDM or beacuse they think it looks cool and unique??, kinda like badging a Acura RSX as a Honda Integra.

i pulled up next to a g35 a few days ago but it was some indian lady driving it and she didn't bite

..havnt gotten to race a g35 or a 350z,, but I think i'd dust a stock one pretty easily, correct me if i'm wrong.

SRT-Wannabe · #10 07-13-2006, 09:55 PM

does japan version 350gt skyline have twin turbo setup like the the other skyline lineup? or is it just N/A?

Yes, you will obliterate even a fairly moddified 350Z.

I never race through intersections, I always slow down to legal speeds before I enter one. I'm just glad I noticed there were cops in it and before it before I got close enough for them to realize what was going on. I was about 350 yards away when we shut down.

SRT-Wannabe · #13 07-13-2006, 10:07 PM

yea, but sometimes you don't know where they're hidden, alot of races i've shut down like 1 sec later a cop pops up out of nowhere. it still freaks me out.

The new/current Skylines are all N/A from the factory everywhere they are sold, there is no GT-R or any turbo version for that matter. But don't fret, thats what the new 2007 Nissan GT-R is for.
